Giddum-up head'em-out

Rawhide! Howdy, yawl! This is
yer extra-terrestrial cowpoke
hyar. This hyar is the game
where yoo haf to herd them
sub-culture creatures through
the maze back into their pens,
the little critters! Ter do this you
have the haylp of yer trusty
alien desperados, whom you
can control from your wrist
terminal. You simply moooove
(chortle) your accomplices so
they block the passageways,
gradually cutting down the
amount of places they can
roam. (Oh gif me a home,
where the alien subcultures
roam...)
Ahem! The game's controls are all alien icons, and you view the world through a little window to the bottom right of the screen. You can see a short range scan of the immediate area in the little scanner window up top. There is a scrolling status window in the centre where your computer control shows you messages about your mode or state of mind and so on. As a game it reminds this humble cowpoke of another arcade adventure using similar techniques which I won't mention... oh, alright, Shadowfire. But in spite of this, it manages to be a real thigh-slapper. Considering how cheap it is, the graphics are very swish, and the gameplay is really quite interesting. The sub-culture creatures are well weird, a bit like enormous flies. You'll need a Vapona the size of a canoe! I think it's a great game. Get it!
